Miller Kids University
Science Club
The Miller Kids University Science Club is a free online science club. We include recommendations for science books, websites, and museums. We share science facts and experiments. Everyone is already a member of our science club. We encourage you to learn about science by using the information on our website and to read books, visit educational websites, go to science museums, and do hands-on-science activities.
Do you have an interesting science fact or experiment that you would like to share? Email us at millerkidsuniversity@gmail.com and we will select what students send to post on our science facts page and science experiments page.
Why study science?
Science helps us to use ideas and investigations to solve problems. We question and try to understand things that we may see or can affect us. Science gives us the opportunity to find out information, test ideas, seek explanations, and develop an understanding of the world.
